The Michigan Trip DAY 10 5-29-09

Day 10 Friday, 5-29-09, started with Bob & I running my leather jacket out to AM Leather Inc in Romulus Michigan. While on our tour of Michigan, the zipper on the jacket had broke & I needed a new one in it for the ride back to Texas. So, we threw the jacket in Bob's truck and we set out for the leather shop. REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURE BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURE.

As we head for AM Leather Inc, Bob tells me this is where he goes for all his patches, leathers and stuff.

We get to AM Leather, which is located at 30759 Eureka Road, Romulus Michigan 48174. The phone number is: 734-946-4663 & fax is: 734-942-8652. E-mail is: Am_leather@yahoo.com the store is closed on Monday and closed on Sunday's Oct-Feb. Open Tues-Sat 10-7 and Sun 12-4. AM Leather is biker owned, operated and friendly. They sell leather apparel, saddlebags, helmets, purses, patches, buckles etc. and do leather repairs and custom embroidery.

This Vet Harley was parked out front

Another view of this great lookin' bike

Inside, I get talking to Gary, an employee, and he shows me his monkey tattoo. Says he asks certain folks if they would like to spank his monkey...Needless to say, I find Gary hilarious.

I ask Al, the owner, if it's okay to take some pictures and use them on this post/blog. He okays it with the understanding that I don't try to steal any of his ideas. This is a very kewl biker apparel & accessory store. See this link: http://local.yahoo.com/info-16215088-am-leather-romulus

They have patches on the desks, walls, tables etc. If you can't find it here, chances are they don't make it. The only patch I couldn't find , was a redwings patch.

They have two enormous displays of belt buckles..

Any kind of leather that you could possible want, they have

As Michigan is a mandatory helmet state, they have a wide variety of helmets..

Patches of ALL sizes, and the ever popular leather top hats are in stock. They will also custom make a patch for you

Here is the owner of AM Leathers Inc, Al, hard at work..They do outstanding work and the price is right. He put snap fasteners on my leather jacket so that it would fully close, all for $10.

This is Jan & Gary. Jan also, does embroidery work & sales

This is Mike, who I got to talking to inside. He left about the same time we did

The last pic of the post is of Mikes 2007 Harley Fatboy. A good lookin' & clean machine.

I highly recommend you visit AM LEATHER INC if you live in the area or are just passing thru the area. This store has just about anything anybody could possibly want in the area of biker apparel & accessories and the staff there is outstanding. I thoroughly enjoyed it there, made several purchases and have every intention of making this an annual stop on my bike rides to Michigan. Thanks Al for the great work on my leather ya'll did and I look forward to seeing ya next year.
